  • First you need to define a DSN using the correct port.  Then you can setup the linked server to use that DSN.  You can't just select "SQL Server" for the Server Type.  You have to specify "other" then choose the appropriate type and specify the provider name you want to use.

    Books online has plenty of examples on how to setup the various provider types.  The key you need is just to properly define your DSN and then refer to it in you linked server definition.
